A live episode of TNA Impact is set to take place in California this May.

TNA Wrestling has announced that it will be running the Bren Events Center in Irvine, California for back-to-back nights on Thursday, May 1 and Friday, May 2. The first show is a live Impact episode, then a TV taping will take place the next night. Tickets are going on sale to the general public at 10 a.m. Pacific time next Friday (February 28).

Six-woman tag match, Tessa Blanchard segment set for live TNA Impact

Posted on by Joseph Currier

A couple of new announcements have been made for this Thursday’s live edition of TNA Impact.

We’ll hear from Tessa Blanchard following her victory over Jordynne Grace at TNA’s Genesis pay-per-view. Plus, TNA has announced a six-woman tag match for the episode. It will be Masha Slamovich, Dani Luna & Jody Threat vs. Rosemary, Ash By Elegance & Heather By Elegance.

Genesis was Blanchard’s first match for TNA since returning to the promotion. Grace — who is expected to be joining WWE — finished up with TNA at the PPV.

Slamovich is the current TNA Knockouts World Champion and Luna & Threat are the Knockouts Tag Team Champions. They retained at Genesis with respective victories over their opponents for this six-woman tag match. Slamovich defeated Rosemary in a Clockwork Orange House of Fun match, while Luna & Threat defeated Ash & Heather By Elegance.

A Knockouts title match between Slamovich and NXT star Cora Jade looks to be in the works but has not been confirmed yet. Jade made a surprise appearance at Genesis on Sunday night, confronting Slamovich.

The Boeing Center at Tech Port in San Antonio, Texas is hosting Impact on Thursday night and then TNA TV tapings the following day. Thursday’s show is the first live Impact in several years. It’s airing on AXS TV, Sportsnet 360, and TNA+.
